What happened: The Houston Astros are collecting essential items for victims of last week's earthquakes in Venezuela, hosting a donation drive at Union Station on July 2. Fans attending the July 3 home game can also bring supplies, which will be collected at all gates.
Why it matters: The initiative extends a broader baseball response to the disaster, following MLB and the players' union's joint $1 million pledge to the Red Cross. Venezuela is deeply woven into the sport's talent pipeline, giving clubs a direct tie to the affected communities.
What to watch: Watch for the July 3 gate collection totals and whether other clubs expand their own relief drives in the days ahead.
